Scientific journals already facilitate the coined "open source" approach in sciences like biology. The scientific community validates experimental findings through duplication -- something made possible by the fact that researchers publish their methods and results.
I've been doing research for GE Medical for the past year in the area of monitoring the heart. Our study on skin types and signal degradation will be published for all to gain from and, at the same time, GE will use the data for implementation of more advanced detection features. Perhaps the exchange of info could be more direct, but biology simply isn't program code. There are different rules.
I like what the article had to say about the general public getting probably disgruntled over large corporations taking individuals to court. Making "examples" of only the large criminals is very debatable, and a waste of time in my mind.
Through which of the following services is it actually possible to track a single user down to their ISP?
1.Kazaa 2.Bearshare 3.Direct Connect
Or is tracking users down actually possible in *gasp* all three?
As a child I was really drawn into the space program, as many were. Growing up, however, added much skepticism to my view of organizations like NASA. The article mentions the oft-dreamed mission to Mars as a benefactor from this research. But really, what on earth is going to Mars gonna do for mankind?
The money invested in such a pursuit could be used for an endless amount of other goods.
I realize NASA has brought about many tech advances we might have not fallen upon otherwise, but then again, not all tech advances are good.
Awfully general, I know, but a line of thought I see to be considered.
...MOBY is unoriginal. he's clearly taken ideas for his current website photo shoot from the LBC-representing band Havalina, as evidenced in the link below...

I rest my case.
And as if there weren't enough things to like about Moby already...
...or maybe Moby just isn't that good in the first place....or maybe people who don't like Macs refuse to buy an album produced by a sworn Mac-lover...
i realize there's a lot of work behind this sort of thing....and that soccer really isn't the point....
...but really...i would whip all of them.
and bash soccer all you want. bash ALL sports. they've all gone too far.

No, I don't listen to news reports. There are never any emergencies, either. I have no television and rarely listen to the radio.
I do pay attention to the world, and it does come in handy. It's just not the media-diluted one you suscribe to.

If only I had one Karma for every Ham Radio junkie I know....I would have exactly ZERO more Karma than I currently exist with.
Point being, emergency notification involves getting the word out to loads of people across a wide area. Is this really important??? Are ham radio operators really a large demographic capable notifying thousands of people of danger?

wailing and gnashing of teeth?! you can't say that!! only my senior-year biomechanics professor has that right!
start pushing the "newtonian way of thinking" and i just might come over there with a closed fist you hack!
(ah, the life and thoughts of a jaded biomed engineer...)
Maybe in 20 years we'll all be flying to space with our own rockets...
...I can remember getting into small rockets like those from Estes, particularly one called the Mean Machine. Towering six feet into the air - far above my jr. high head at the time - painted all black with a shiny nose cone. It was too big for the starter launch rod we had, so one of us had to hold the thing up til a split second before launch.
I volunteered to watch 100 yards away by the tennis courts at the park.
The damn thing tipped over on ignition and screamed past my head -- distace to my skull a mere 5 feet. It hit the fences south of me and compacted.
We rebuilt by cutting off the 4.5 feet of crushed toilet paper roll that made up our little rocket. The remainder was a much safer, though less satisfying, version we called the Mini-Mean Machine.
A toast to solid-state engines and all the money invested in childhood spaceman dreams...

no.
